The Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD) in Tennessee has opened applications for its Fall 2025 Citizens Police Academy, an initiative designed for residents of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County who are eager to gain insight into the daily grind of the city's police force. According to a social media post by the department, the program will run weekly from August 19 to November 11, between 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM at 1004 N.

Interaction with the very fiber of law enforcement in the community is promised, allowing individuals a firsthand perspective on the various aspects that frame the umbrella of policing – from routine patrols to investigative procedures, the program intends to provide a comprehensive overview for those interested. Applications are currently open, and those with questions are encouraged to reach out to Lt.
